The '''Syringe Gun''' is the primary weapon for the [[Medic]] class. It is listed as a Level 1 Syringe Gun in the Loadout menu. It fires low-damage projectiles at a high rate (it fires 10 syringes per second) at around 990 hammer units per second (about 42 miles per hour). The projectiles have a travel time and follow an arced trajectory, so it is necessary to lead a moving target and aim upward to compensate for distance. The Syringe Gun is reasonably accurate when the trajectory is taken into account and has a moderate damage falloff with distance.

Medium range is defined as the main resupply door to the opposite wall on the upper level of [[2fort]]. Long range is defined as battlement to battlement on [[2fort]]. Base damage is the damage done at 512 units before damage variance or bullet spread. Ramp up maxes out at 0 units. Fall off maxes out at 1024 units. Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.

The weapon fires syringes at a rate of ten per second, with a velocity of 990 [[Hammer unit]]s (approximately 18.86 meters or 61.88 feet) per second. The syringes are subject to gravity as they travel, making it necessary to lead moving targets and aim upward to compensate for distance. The Syringe Gun is reasonably accurate when the trajectory is taken into account, but the extremely slow speed of the [[projectiles]] makes it ineffective outside of close range.

The Syringe Gun is the default primary weapon for the Medic. It is a custom-built stylized gun that uses air pressure to fire syringes from a transparent cylindrical case.

The weapon fires syringes at a rate of ten per second, with a velocity of 990 Hammer units (approximately 18.86 meters or 61.88 feet) per second. The syringes are subject to gravity as they travel, making it necessary to lead moving targets and aim upward to compensate for distance. The Syringe Gun is reasonably accurate when the trajectory is taken into account, but the extremely slow speed of the projectiles makes it ineffective outside of close range. Unlike most other projectiles, syringes cannot be reflected.
